Revenue-Based Funding
- Libertas is industry agnostic but focuses on established businesses with revenues and are experiencing growth.
- Libertas provides RBFs based on revenues and cash flows. Institutional funding amounts typically range between $500k – $10mm.
- RBFs are priced using factor rates instead of interest because our fundings are not loans. Factors typically range between 1.17 to 1.25 and are typically repaid over an estimated term of up to 12 months and can be customized to adjust remittance schedules to incorporate seasonality. Customers utilizing the RBF product may be eligible for steep prepayment discounts.
